[RFC PATCH 1/4] Provide linux/set_memory.h

[Michael Ellerman]

Currently code that wants to use set_memory_ro() etc, needs to include
asm/set_memory.h, which doesn't exist on all arches. Some code knows
it only builds on arches which have the header, other code guards the
inclusion with an #ifdef, neither is ideal.

So create linux/set_memory.h. This always exists, so users don't need
an #ifdef just to include the header.

When CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_SET_MEMORY=y it includes asm/set_memory.h,
otherwise it provides empty non-failing implementations.

Does this look OK to people? If so it would be great if someone, Kees?,
Andrew?, could pick up patch 1 (it's a nop by itself) and then we can send the
conversions separately later in the merge window?

cheers
